There's a shit ton more of this stuff. The first wave 93/94 is the best, 95 on its mostly cash in car ad business, but there's a seam of obscure quality that has mostly been unmined and is all cheap as chips on discogs.

This got a major reissue last year, went from £80 to a fiver:

With the risk of sounding like a dick, the cutty ranks remix I posted is by far the best tune in this thread so far, for fairly obvious reasons I think

Looks like there were also Foul Play and Sounds of Life remixes of The Shamen in 1985?
There were! I distinctly remember not picking this one up at the time as it seemed like a lazy reworking of Ignorance from the FP album. Its pretty nice actually.

Are you sad/laughing because I don't think the tunes are all that good or because of my memory loss?

This is why we need more reaction emoji options

Another in a long line of mediocre photek chart mixes

I like this!
One problem jungle faced remixing non jungle tunes was the tempo would never match so all you could do is sample a bit of it, like here. So more often than not they’re entirely new tunes with a bit of the original stuck on and so the quality of the track depends on how good a tune the producer wants to give away.
